Dog rescuer Chloe Taggert is making her last trip to the airport before Christmas to pick up her latest rescue, Belle. When the notorious escape artist breaks out of her kennel and mows over a soldier in the airport, who just happens to be her neighborβs son home from deployment, the least she can do is offer him a ride to Snowy Falls.
All she has to do is not fall for him.
One delay after another has plagued Parker Andersonβs trip home. Heβs not even surprised when the airport runs out of rentals cars before he can snag one. He still has three days to make it home. Plenty of time to keep his promise to his niece.
Only, the delays are far from over.
If he has to be stranded, being stuck with Chloe and Belle isnβt the worst fate he could suffer. His determination to remain unattached begins to wane. It shouldnβt be possible to fall in love in only a few days, yet itβs happening just the same.
But his Army career doesnβt mesh well with the woman whoβd never leave behind her family and hometown. Itβll take more than a little Christmas magic to overcome their biggest obstacles.
